We have slightly adjusted our training times on Thursdays. We will now start at 7.45 pm and finish at 9.15 (the same as our Monday session.) The main reason for this is to allow members to take advantage of the car parking charges at the sports centre and only having to pay for 30 mins.

As we update the website we will create a events page that contains all the dates relevant for club members. As an appetite whetter, here are the dates that have been confirmed for the Kyu gradings for 2013 – 24 March, 30 June and 10 November. The grading examiner will be Sensei Bob Poynton, 7th Dan. Further details will be posted on the Events page in due course.

For the dates of Dan gradings and other national courses keep an eye on the KUGB Events page. 

We hope that you have all had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to training hard in 2013. On behalf of all of the club’s instructors we wish you a Happy New Year. Training starts again on Thursday, 3rd January 2013 at 7.30 pm. 

As you may have noticed we are developing a new website for the club. Please bear with us while we make the transition from old to new!

Mark Walker was awarded the Student of the Year trophy for 2012 by Sensei Bob Poynton at the club’s Christmas dinner. Mark’s award follows his successful achievement of his 3rd Dan in October 2012.

Bath Shotokan karate club recently celebrated another successful year with its annual Christmas meal at the Boathouse in Bath. The guest of honour was Sensei Bob Poynton, 7th Dan, of the KUGB. Club Chief instructor, Ron Hicks, celebrated the club and its members’ achievements during the last year and looked forward to another successful year in 2013.

This will be the new home for the Bath Shotokan karate website – more coming in 2013
